To sum up: without cable you miss out on: weather and traffic. Serial killers in your neighborhood. Some cute chick getting a gold medal. A transport truck wiping out six vehicles. The winner of last night’s dog show. The fatal fire right up the street from you.

I not only ditched cable, I ditched TV, even streaming. (I spend quite enough time in front of this screen as it is without watching TV shows too.) Its been years now, and the very idea of having to decide what to watch sounds like work. Besides, I have three books waiting to be read.

I grew up without cable. I think we got cable when I was in college. Most of the channels were redundant. Currently, I live without TV. However, from time to time, I miss your no. 1 point – idly changing the channels and then discovering something I would have never thought of looking up.

In my entire apartment living adulthood to my current home owner situation, i have had cable for a grand total of 2 months. Then, we cut it off! Pretty much Netflix and Amazon Prime takes care of our entertainment needs. Oh, and youtube plus the free local channels that we sorta get😊

Me I’m not much of a TV person and where I live we don’t even have a phone line so cable is not possible, but I don’t miss TV at all, I spend my time trekking, mountain biking, sailing, fishing, so many other things to do. When it rains its word press etc.

Our household didn’t have cable when I was young. In fact, I don’t think cable existed until I reached my teens.
In the current family unit, I am the only one who doesn’t watch TV. The others wouldn’t be able to function without it, or so it seems. We had cable with internet until recently when we replaced it with a dish service. (BIG mistake, as they say- stormy weather interferes) The only thing I would use cable for now is for a more reliable internet experience. I hate that my movies don’t load as well as they used to. 😦

I do feel bad about missing the olympics but with the time difference how much am I really going to watch anyways. Missing the hockey sucks and the ice skating but…. I didn’t look on YouTube for it either lol 🙂
